Amiibo Discussion Thread

Not open for further replies.
I was in best buy earlier and saw they had one diddy left. I picked it up and took it to the checkout the guy rings it up and the computer tells him that the item is not available for sale yet :(

Well at least you can try to make it there when they open the day they can sell them and try to get it.
 
So I made this to help out the people in the USA who are still looking for amiibos, I need help from EURO/AUS/Japan Gaf if they know of figures not available there but available here, so we can help each other out and have some trading going.

Hope it helps!

Great table.

In the UK we seem to have plenty of stock for Mario, Link, Kirby, and Peach, with donkey kong and fox being available in most places. Villager, Marth and Wii Fit Trainer are sold out everywhere instore and online.

Yesterday Game started selling all the wave two characters and from a look this morning it seems that little mac is the one that is selling the quickest. Zelda, Pit and Luigi were the ones most in stock.

In terms of the third wave amazon and the online Nintendo store have stopped taking pre-orders on Shulk, King Dedede and Meta Knight, however Game is taking pre-orders on these three.

I have not checked other retailers, but stock likely to be similar. I get the impression that the limited characters are in demand to gamers and collectors and the more popular characters are selling out for that very reason.

The fact that these have sold out has far greatened my interest in these. I've gone from not being bothered to ordering 8.
 
I can only choose one more to preorder right now, which do you think I should go for on Best Buy. I like both character pretty equally and this is a hard decision right now!

DEDEDE Or Ike?

We like Ike!

On a different note. Someone who works at Best Buy told me that the Wave 2 release tomorrow is apparently supposed to include Luigi, Captain Falcon and Pit. I doubt it, but thought I'd mention it.

Hmm so Falcon is the other rare then if Pit isn't.

Nice chart!

My experience in (mainland) Europe, specifically the Netherlands so far is that most characters are widely available. Wii Fit Trainer and Marth are getting rare, but they keep getting restocked here in the Netherlands and apparently amazon.it, amazon.de and amazon.fr occasionally get new stock too, although it gets snatched up instantly. But getting them is still very much possible if you look carefully. Villager and Kirby seem to be the rarest figurines here. Finding those two in stores is getting nearly impossible and online they sell out really fast.

Wave 2 is coming out December 19 here and I haven't heard reports of them being released early in retail stores yet, unlike the US, Australia and UK. Could be wrong though.

Wave 3 pre-orders aren't even open at any retail or online stores as far as I can tell. Doesn't seem like there will be store exclusives either.
 
just discovered that now best buy has ike and dedede available for preorder. preordered one of each. I suggest you guys preorder them, especially ike, if you haven't.

now I have everything from waves 1-3 successfully secured except for rosalina.
 
So my mall has one of those holiday Nintendo displays in the middle of it. They had loose amiibos to try out...including a Marth! So during a hectic game of smash, I "pushed" it into my wife's purse.

lol not really but I'm shocked that thing hasn't been swiped.

me too. Just a matter of time really.
 
Diddy Kong get!


Any military/dod employees, check out the gamestops on base! I'm in the air force and just found the last diddy kong at a gamestop on a local army base.

That makes 3/6 for wave 2. Is it confirmed pit, luigi, and captain falcon are going on sale tomorrow at target in the U.S.? I don't see luigi going anywhere, but I definitely need to snag captain falcon and pit before they go MIA like villager, marth, and wii fit trainer.

HOpefully! I'm ordered my Pit through Best Buy preorder as well so I've been waiting for him. Picked up my Little Mac that I ordered at Gamestop last night, his Amiibo looks so damn good!

Diddy Kong get!

Congrats! It looks like your Diddy didn't end up Derptastic either!

Bestest Idea evar. Keep it updated, brah!
 
Well at least you can try to make it there when they open the day they can sell them and try to get it.

It's an hour away I had to do some shopping today so I checked and was so exited when I saw it. I don't think I can justify making another trip just for diddy /:

I did finally get a pikachu today. Now I'll have 10 whenever my Zelda comes in.
 
So EB Games still haven't put Shulk or any of the Wave 3 amiibo on pre-order. Should I just pre-order on Gamestop so I don't end up losing out and If so, should I just pre-order the rest of the amiibo I want?
 
I can't believe preorders for Wave 2 are selling out. That's insane. I am so glad I preordered the ones I wanted from Wave 2. Going to do the same for Wave 3 when I go to pick up my Wave 2's...
 
Which is why Kirby is sticking around pretty sure all the exclusives will be limited.
I can't see Kirby ever getting discontinued, he is one of Nintendo's most iconic character and likely the cheapest Amiibo to produce.

I do wonder when we will get the first non-smash Amiibos though, like will we get a Captain Toad Amiibo or something like a Waddle Dee?
 
Every character in Smash is getting an Amiibo
Guess I better preorder a few of the more niche characters since birthdays are approaching.

Gonna need Zero Suit and Ike. I was going to sell this Little Mac but my younger brother will appreciate it much more.

Damn it Nintendo.
 
Went to my local Target and they only had Zelda in the back from wave 2. Anyone know if the rest will be sold tomorrow? I really want Little Mac and Diddy Kong.

Also, when pre ordering Meta Knight it says I will be receiving it on January 7th. Why is that?
 
My local GAME has all the wave 2 characters. Picked up Little Mac and Pit today. Was tempted to pick the rest up but have them on pre-order elsewhere

Is Wave 2 supposed to be released in the UK yet? I checked in GAME today and I could only find a few Diddy Kong's, Luigi's and Zelda's with a ton of Marios, literally no other characters on the racks.

Great table.

Price? My local GAME charged me £14.99 for Falcon and Pit.

Also, they had all other Wave 2 figures but Little Mac, so he might be rare, but I gonna check my local Smyths next Friday for him. Sick of Game hiking prices.
